Coffee shop downstairs.

Gu Mochen's face was expressionless, and he said indifferently: "Mrs. Zhang, you suddenly came to me, is there something?" ”

When Xue Yuelan heard that salutation, her heart felt like a stone was blocked.

She paused, plucked up the courage to call out his nickname: "Minister, I ......"

"Just call me Lawyer Gu, we don't know each other that well." He glanced at her coldly, "Do you have any legal questions to consult, the lawyers in our law firm all have to make an appointment." ”

Xue Yuelan was blocked by his words, and she didn't know how to speak for a while, so she just shook her head: "No, it's not a legal issue." ”

His brows furrowed slightly: "Then I'm sorry, I'm busy, so I'll go first." ”

"Minister, wait a minute!"

Seeing that he had already gotten up, Xue Yuelan immediately stood up, grabbed his arm, her expression was painful, Gu Mochen shook her off, glanced at her irritably, and sat down again.

"I know, you blame me in your heart, blame me for being so cruel to abandon you back then, so no matter how angry and resentful you are now, I understand." She said slowly, with a choking in her throat, "I'm really, really happy to see you so healthy and so good now." ”

"If you want money, what do you want?" He sneered, thinking to himself, her bitterness was nothing more than this, "Needless to say, let's be straightforward, so as not to waste time." ”

Hearing him say this, Xue Yuelan's eyes suddenly turned red, and her tired face was full of pain: "You really hate me so much?!" ”

"It's not hate, I'm just used to all these years of peaceful life, and you suddenly appeared and disturbed me."

Xue Yuelan was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "I'm sorry to disturb you." She looked at him and squeezed out a bitter smile, "I'm very happy that you are with Manman, she is a very good girl, I wish you all a safe and happy life." ”

After saying that, she slowly got up, picked up her satchel and left quietly.

Gu Mochen closed his eyes vigorously, but in the end he couldn't pass the inner level, so he took out a hundred-yuan bill from his wallet and pressed it on the table, and chased it out.

"Say it." He shouted, "What's going on in front of me?" ”

Xue Yuelan was a little surprised, turned to look at him, and stopped talking.

"I'll give you this chance, I won't see you in the future." He frowned and stared straight at her.

The afternoon sun was blocked by the building, and a gust of wind blew, and it was still cold, so Gu Mo Chen's cool tone.

She opened her mouth slightly, hesitated for a while, and said with shame: "I'm sorry, I won't open this mouth with you unless I have to." ”

"Money?"

"No, it's not money, it's ......," she hesitated, "it's bone marrow." ”

Gu Mochen was taken aback, not understanding the meaning of her words.

"After divorcing your father, I started a new family and had children again." He knew that the child was referring to Zhang Jiakai, "but a few days ago, he suddenly fainted and was hospitalized, and the test result was leukemia." ”

Gu Mochen was stunned and surprised.

Manman never mentioned this on the phone, it seems that she shouldn't know about it yet, but it's too sudden, that Zhang Jiakai is still tall, why did he suddenly get sick.

"I know, I disappeared for more than 20 years, suddenly appeared, and made such an excessive request, you must think I'm ridiculous, but, but I really have no choice, I and his father's bone marrow matching is not right, everyone who can find it has been searched, the bone marrow bank is like looking for a needle in the sea, I don't know if he can last until that time, so, I can only come to you." Xue Yuelan's tears accumulated in her eyes finally poured out at this moment, "Even if you don't admit it, he is indeed your half-brother, even if there is a 1 in 10,000 chance, I don't want to give up, so, minister, mom beg, help me once, okay?" ”

Gu Mochen was silent for a long time, the shock of hearing the news, the painful pleasure of seeing her after the shock, the inner struggle after the pleasure, the clueless irritability after the struggle, and the resentment derived from the irritability, mixed together at this moment, made him at a loss.

Marrow?

Her biological mother, after disappearing for more than 20 years, suddenly appeared in front of him and asked him for bone marrow to save her other son, what a funny plot.

Seeing her crying silently for Zhang Jiakai, Gu Mochen became more and more irritable: "Do you know what day it is?" ”

Xue Yuelan stopped crying and looked at him in a daze.

He sneered: "Today is my thirty-second birthday, don't you remember?" ”

Her face instantly became even more ugly.

He gritted his teeth and laughed at himself: "Heh, yes, how could you possibly remember, if it weren't for your son asking for bone marrow, you wouldn't even be able to remember that I am also your flesh and blood, right?" ”

"When you left me, I would have been better off even if I had one-tenth of the emotion I have now." His voice was deep and sounded calm, "I'm sorry, if you're short of money, maybe I'm willing to donate some money, and I can't do anything else." ”

"Minister!" Xue Yuelan grabbed the person who turned around to leave, "It's me who is sorry for you, just treat it as kindness to strangers, mom please!" ”

When Gu Mochen heard the word "mother", the flame in his heart lit suddenly, and he shook her off vigorously,

"I'm not that selfless, my body will only give for the people I love! Don't come to me in the future! His gaze was like a sword, piercing all her hopes. He turned and took two steps back, then stopped, "Don't try to use the vines to convince me, it's useless, you should take it as retribution." ”

Back in the office, Gu Mochen sat down on the chair.

Xue Yuelan's appearance made him very painful, as if a different force had broken into his body, tearing him in all directions.

The image of her crying bitterly and praying in a low voice for her other son came to mind, which made his heart even more unbalanced, and he was paranoid and had a hint of schadenfreude. However, it also made him recall the painful picture of her abandoning herself in the playground for the first time when he was sober, and he was like her now, so painful, so desperate, and so helpless.

The pain I endured after the age of six, the fear of loneliness alone, and the countless grievances on the way to growth are really impossible to let go.

Gu Mochen thought to himself, he is also an ordinary person, not so great, and he also has times when he is willful and unreasonable, this time, he just doesn't want to help.

After locking myself in my office for an afternoon and rejecting all work and phone calls, my mood finally calmed down.

The boss's state was a little sluggish, and one afternoon, everyone saw it, so all the colleagues who wanted to find him were discouraged. But because the dinner party for his birthday was scheduled early in the morning, everyone unanimously encouraged the secretary Helen to come in to explore the wind, so when he got off work, Helen knocked on the door a little timidly and came in.

"Something?" Gu Mochen pressed his eyebrows, looking tired and looking like he didn't want to speak.

Helen pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "Lawyer Gu, you haven't forgotten tonight's dinner." ”

He remembered this reminder and originally thought that he would not go, but after thinking about it, he really needed to go to a lively place to distract himself now, so he said: "I haven't forgotten, let's go when everyone is done." ”

A colleague from the law firm celebrated his birthday, Gu Mochen naturally tried to hide his emotions, and called Tan Man before leaving, but the other party's mobile phone was turned off, he was a little depressed, but he didn't think too much, and after WeChat informed his colleagues of the dinner, he set off with everyone.

During the meal, everyone saw that Gu Mochen seemed to have returned to his usual attitude, so he also let go, and some colleagues boldly asked him about the wedding date, shouting that they would invite everyone to drink wedding wine at that time, and he accepted all the toasts, and after a meal, he had already drunk a lot.

After eating, Xiao Zhicai rushed back from Hangzhou, and strongly asked Gu Mochen to move to the next game with everyone, and the slightly drunk Gu Mochen also gladly accepted, so a group of people transferred from the restaurant to KTV, but when the dinner was over, it was close to the early morning, and when he came out of KTV, Gu Mochen was already drunk.

It was still Chen Hao who sent him home. Along the way, Gu Mochen's mobile phone rang several times, but he was already so drunk that he fell asleep, so Chen Hao took advantage of the traffic light to take out the mobile phone from his pocket and pick it up.

"Gu Mochen, you finally answered the phone, do you know that people will be worried." Tan Man was a little angry, and as soon as the phone was connected, he didn't care about shouting.

Chen Hao looked like a bitter melon: "Eh, Miss Tan, I'm sorry, tonight's dinner, Lawyer Gu drank too much as soon as he was happy, I'm sending him home, it's almost there." ”

"......" Tan Man paused and calmed down, "Oh, I'm sorry for you." ”

When Tan Man returned to Shanghai, it was already in full bloom, and when he received the news that he was going to dinner, he didn't think about disturbing him, and took a taxi back to his residence alone.

However, I slept Xiaobei, watched a movie, and before he came back, he couldn't help but call him, but no one answered the phone, seeing that twelve o'clock was about to pass, his kindness was let down, and he became more and more aggrieved.

There was movement at the door, and Tan Man went to open the door depressed. The person who sent him back was still the man with glasses last time, because they had a meal together, Tan Man vaguely remembered that his name seemed to be Chen Hao.

"Hey, it's right to call Mrs. Gu this time." When Chen Hao saw Tan Man, he made a joke, probably carrying all the way, and after speaking, he gasped for breath.

Tan Man reluctantly squeezed a smile and immediately helped to help Gu Mochen's other arm, this picture suddenly reminded her of the first time they met, just like that.

"I guess it's because of today's birthday, as soon as Lawyer Gu is happy, he drinks too much, Miss Tan, don't be angry."

Tan Man said helplessly: "Today's birthday star is the biggest, what can I say." ”
